GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation and refers to a data protection law in the European Union.
The GDPR applies to anyone who provides goods or services to residents in Europe. Many organizations in the U.S. do not operate or have business in the EU or process information of individuals in the EU. For them, the GDPR will not have an immediate impact.
For our nonprofit clients who do collect donations and data via Qgiv from supporters in the EU we committed to the following:
- Updated Privacy Policy to accommodate the new rules by the May 25, 2018 deadline.
- The ability for a donor to request access to, rectification of, and deletion of their data.
